Making a Difference in Dog’s Life

Cassidy

Editor’s note: The most wonderful part of rescuing pups is knowing that we can make a difference – and a BIG difference- in their lives. And the greatest reward is when we are able to place them in forever homes with amazing adopters.

Hello Bichon Lovers,
We hope that you, your loved ones and FurKids are staying safe and healthy and having a happier and healthier 2021!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of rescuing is to be able to see, through photos and anecdotes, how our FurKids and their families grow over the years. We hear from (and love to!) many of you and it makes us incredibly happy! When we have returning adopters and families,that is another reward, as finding a FurKid or two to brighten the home of a family we already know is deeply satisfying.

Growing up with pups that adore them is a very wonderful experience for kids, grown and otherwise. We love hearing how a pup has made a difference in their lives. You will find the cover article on pages 1-3 details the relationship of one family with BFK and talks about three generations who have grown up with the unconditional love of their FurKids.

Truly the most difficult aspect of loving a FurKid is when it is time for the precious soul to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Letting them go is always the most difficult part of loving them! For Ally’s Moms having her as a part of their home and family brought untold joy, as they describe her in a Tribute to Ally on page 4.

With the Fourth of July approaching we wanted to share some tips and techniques for helping your FurKids through the loud and often scary times around this holiday. Please know that the shelters anticipate huge numbers of pups that get spooked by fireworks every year and please keep your FurKids safe. The article on pages 5 and 6 provides some guidance on what you can do to help.

We are starting to see more pups arrive in the shelters once again and will be posting new photos and bios starting this week. These precious pups will be looking for their forever homes now– and we would love for them to be adopted by members of our amazing community. Please check our website for their bios and photos at bichonfurkids.org/available-dogs/

We are often asked about how to ensure that your FurKid will be properly cared for if you should need the help of BFK in the future. The article on Wills and Trusts on page 7-9 provides information for you to review.

To those of you who donated to the Matching Challenge on behalf of my beloved husband who passed away recently, please KNOW how much your contribution means to me, to us and our FurKids. Your response to our Forever Foster and Matching Donation programs have been humbling to us. Your generosity makes SO much difference for these deserving pups. I thank you so very much!

And it is with great excitement that we share the official registration for the 2021 Bichon Bash! Yes, it is back! Information on the date, location and how to register is on page 10. Our website is ready to complete your registration at https://bichonfurkids.org/bichon-bash-2021/ and we look forward to seeing all of you on October 3rd!
